List your business with Google Maps for Website promotion

There are millions of different company websites on the World Wide Web that are competing with one another to be found by potential consumers. Without Website promotion, potential consumers can easily become lost while sifting through such a high number of websites while trying to find the right business, but now a popular map website is helping potential consumers find their way to companies and their websites.

Thanks to a new Google Maps feature potential consumers can type in the product or service they are looking for and they will be guided to a list of companies that carry that product or service. Also, when a potential consumer enters a company’s name into Google Maps they will get the company’s address, website and reviews. This means that businesses can use google maps as a method of promoting their business, website promotion, without actually using their own website.

According to Axandra.com, if a company wants to better its listing on Google Maps there are some things the company can do:

  • Enter as much information as possible about the company. Include important keywords in the description. Also add information about opening hours, payment types, etc.
  • Include images and videos to help the company’s listing stand out.
  • Submit the company’s website to other local directories. Google Maps compiles its local results by crawling and parsing data from other online directories and databases. A good position in online yellow pages can cause the company’s listing to be placed higher on the list.

Website promotion is a great method for helping consumers and businesses find one another and Google Maps is offering this service for free, according to Axandra.com.

Google FAQ #2: Website Traffic Promotion Off Site

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

As mentioned in previous blog posts, creating a new Website for either a new company or long standing business with a storefront is not a one time project. You cannot expect to put forth a thousand dollars (or more) into the creation and implementation of a Website and then leave it alone. With consistent Website traffic promotion techniques, more people will recognize your brand and return often. Creating a Website is somewhat like buying a classic car, one must take care of it, so that it maintains its value and increase in value.

How else can you promote your Website without changing or adding pages? In order to increase Website traffic promotion, you must be willing to take your classic car to other venues, so that you are able to increase its visibility and recognition among other like minded car owners. One way to help increase visibility and Website traffic promotion is advertise its presence with a national audience. How? Write a press release and send it to local, regional or national media outlets. If you have a product or service that can only be rendered in your local area, then send to local media outlets including newspapers, magazines, community newsletters, and online radio stations. Local press releases are affordable to send and can be written in just 400 words.

To further your presence in the search engines when writing a press release for Website traffic promotion purposes, integrate a couple keywords relevant to your company. Since you are writing about your new Website, ensure the keywords are general and not for a specific product or service. For example, “Company X has just unveiled a new Website featuring local SEO services at affordable rates” rather than “Company X offers PPC and link building, come visit our new Website.” For Website traffic promotion purposes, you want to create interest by using general keywords pertaining to your company’s industry.

Through off site Website traffic promotion, you’ll be able to get an edge on the competition. Research your competitors and find what they are doing for their Website traffic promotion and up the ante. You’ll see results immediately with a press release and with weekly reports, you’ll be able to see who is picking up your off Website traffic promotion efforts month after month.
